When I was supporting an iPad rollout, I first encountered “DFU” (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode, useful for recovering a bricked device.
I of course started referring to it as “Done Fucked Up” mode; I somehow suspect I wasn’t the first to do so.

It is open source, peggs the CPU at 100% on startup for about a minute, doubles game launch time, references 10 research papers, sometimes corrupts the world, and is so abstract only the author knows how it works - all to upgrade game worlds to new versions. It is often called Data Fucker Upper.
